What can children eat to grow taller?

A child's height is related to his or her normal genetics, and is also closely related to acquired nutritional factors. I always feel that my child is not tall enough because his or her parents are not very tall. Will acquired factors affect the child's height? In fact, children should eat more nutritious foods. Acquired nutrition is very important. But what should children eat to grow taller? Let's take a brief look below.

Soy products

Beans are the only plant-based foods that can be compared with animal-based foods, with high protein, high fat, and high calories. They have always been loved by health professionals and vegetarians. However, beans contain a trypsin inhibitor that can inhibit the digestive effect of trypsin. In addition, the cells that make up soybeans have a relatively strong cell wall, which hinders the human body's absorption of the nutrients in soybeans. However, in the process of processing soy products, due to the addition of some other raw materials (such as adding brine when making tofu) and technical processing, the pancreatic protein pancreatic inhibitor and the strong cell membrane contained in the soybeans are destroyed, which will greatly facilitate the body's absorption of its nutrients. Therefore, high-quality soy products are more beneficial to the human body than whole beans. Here is a brief introduction to common soy products and their nutritional characteristics: Tofu: The protein content of water tofu is about 7.2%, and that of firm tofu is 10.4%. Tofu contains more protein and fat, and is known as "plant meat". It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness, clearing the lungs and skin, and clearing away heat and detoxifying. Tofu is easily digested and absorbed by the human body, and is a good way for the elderly and infirm to supplement high-quality protein. Tofu is a food that can be used as both food and medicine, and it has many functions such as invigorating qi and replenishing deficiency. Therefore, eating tofu regularly can protect the liver, promote metabolism, increase immunity and have a detoxifying effect.

Dried tofu: The protein content in dried tofu is about 17%. The lecithin it contains can remove cholesterol attached to the blood vessel walls, prevent blood vessel sclerosis, prevent cardiovascular diseases, and protect the heart. It contains a variety of minerals, supplement calcium, prevent osteoporosis caused by calcium deficiency, promote bone development, and is extremely beneficial to the bone growth of children and the elderly.

The above foods have a great direct impact on the child's height. Although genetics determines the child's height after birth, if the nutrition is adequate, it will also play a good role in promoting the child's height. If the food you eat is not ideal, it will not be of any benefit to the later height growth. Parents must pay more attention to their children's height in daily life.
